In a strategic move towards squad stability, Arsenal is reportedly in advanced discussions with defenders Ben White and Takehiro Tomiyasu for contract extensions. Manager Mikel Arteta, along with sporting director Edu, is aiming to secure key players’ futures and maintain the team’s core until 2027 and beyond.
While White, 26, has 2½ years left on his current deal, Tomiyasu, 25, is contracted until 2025. This initiative aligns with Arsenal’s recent trend of securing long-term agreements with key personnel, including Martin Odegaard, William Saliba, Bukayo Saka, Gabriel Martinelli, Gabriel Magalhaes, and Aaron Ramsdale. The Gunners’ commitment to tying down crucial assets underscores their shift towards a stable and formidable squad.
Recent successes on the pitch, exemplified by a convincing 6-0 victory over Lens, further solidify the club’s belief in its current roster. Arteta expressed satisfaction with the team’s performance, emphasizing the importance of maintaining a winning mentality, especially against formidable opponents. As Arsenal leads the table and progresses to the Champions League knockout stages, the focus on securing player contracts signals a forward-looking approach under Arteta’s leadership.
